I was born and raised in Torino, which is my Hometown. Thanks my father from Asti, I spent most of my childhood enjoying beautiful Monferrato hills' coutrysides and donkeys' races, tasting delicious food at the annual fairs, admiring the historical flags flyers' paredes of the south of Piedmont and also tasting (supervised) my first sips of Dolcetto wine! Since childhood my passion is drawing, art and history, which let me to attend the art school and the Architectur univeristy studies, becoming a conservation architect. In 2003 I gained my Architecture Degree and I also became a professional Tour guide in Turin and south Piedmont, as my passion for built historical environment continued to grow. So I guided for 6 years in Piedmont, in german and english, enjoying to be able to sum up my personal and familiar background to my professional licences and degree. Afterwords I spent 7 years rewording experience in England and Ireland, in which I used to work as a guide and architect for the public body protecting the historic environment, I gained more experience and interest over UNESCO and protected sites. Coming back to Italy 5 years ago, I started again to be a full time tour guide and I am also a professional Tour Leader. Having the chance to showing around the beautiful places I live is what that makes me feel happy, remembering that Langhe and Monferrato became in 2014 the 50th italian UNESCO site! In addition, sharing local traditions and foods by visiting local cellar, vinyards and agritourism, talking directly to the wine grower is what get travellers to know at the most the area they are discovering. Moreover, the experiences of life abroad (also the one an a half year in Germany and Austria as a student) helps me every day to understand better your needs, so feel free to ask! My mission is make you feel and live the beauty and uniqueness of the south of Piedmont a still not crowded visited area, rich of history, culture, unspoiled beautiful coutrysides, medevial and baroque castels, delicious food and wines. You are very, very welcome and I am waiting for you! Italian Tour Guide licence (2003) Italian Tour Manager licence (2019) Conservation Architect certification
